Attacking Zone Defenses

Do not leave attacking zones up to chance.

The need for a solid zone attack is paramount on every level of the game. Attacking man to man defenses and zone defenses are two distinct endeavors. Attacking man to man defenses requires player movement and individual skills; whereas, in attacking zone defenses ball movement and a total team effort is involved.

Therefore, before under taking any specific zone offense, coaches and players must have a working knowledge of the basic principles and techniques required to successfully combat zone defenses.
